Vtech CS5111 5.8 GHz 1-Line Cordless Phone

Pros:has a loud ringer

Cons:not shock proof

The Bottom Line:

It's an all around good phone.

The Vtech CS5111 5.8 GHz 1-Line Cordless Phone is a decent phone. This 5.8 ghz phone has good reception up to about 1200 feet away from the base. The battery life is fair last about 2 and a half days if you leave it off the charger. If you keep it on the charger it will last for all your needs. one thing that i personly like about this phone is that the talk button is color coded green and the off button is red to help even first time users of the phone locate them easy. all the number buttons light up which make them easy to see anytime. The ear speeker is clear and echo free makeing other people easy to hear in a load place. this phone will display if you have voice mail waiting and the base also has a light that shows this as well. the caller id screen is 1 1/2 x 1 3/4 which displays the time and date name and number big enough for you to see well. If you don't want to spend alot of money on a phone but want a styleish look then vtech has the phone for you. I have had this phone for 8 and a half months and have had no problums out of it. yes there are better phones out there but this is an all around good phone and it works!
